Beaten 25l on her chasing debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in January but has blossomed since switching back to hurdles in cheekpieces (retained here), making all at Fakenham and Cartmel last month; this is tougher but he's bang in form and should set them all a merry gallop on this second stab at chasing.

Runner-up in 3m Haydock handicap last month, having been hampered on run-in, and readily beat a next-time-out winner when dropped back to 2m4f for Fakenham maiden (also on good ground; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; big player if coping with this even shorter trip.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in two good bumpers in the autumn, the latter a Listed contest at Huntingdon (soft); not disgraced in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree (good to soft) last month and is bred to be suited by today's longer trip; commands respect on hurdling debut.

Runner-up in a Listed bumper last season; 2-4 over hurdles (the wins at about 2m on good) and perhaps wasn't suited to Cartmel last time; should stay this far and remains of interest.

Had breathing issue two starts ago but, with tongue-tie fitted, was creditable second of 13 at Stratford (2m, good) last month; will be fine over this longer trip and ought to be on the premises again.

Lady Kara

11st 9lb

J: Luke Scott

T: Dr Richard Newland

Three hurdle wins (Hereford and twice at Newton Abbot); she's still finding her way over fences, having unseated on Stratford debut and made a respiratory noise at Newton Abbot; improved fourth (beaten over 12l) at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago, however; it's likely she'll sit handy dropped back to 2m.

Form & Verdict
Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when third of 13 (just behind Lady Kara) in Stratford maiden (2m, good) a fortnight ago; her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender if her stamina holds out over this new trip.

A fairly useful ex-French bumper winner; got off the mark for current yard in maiden over C&D in June and not discredited when fifth on her handicap debut in steadily-run contest over C&D last time; she could still do better granted a likely stiffer test of stamina here.

Lightly raced since winning slow-ground French bumper on debut in November 2024 but was second on hurdle debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in March and might not have been suited by the idiosyncratic track when below that form at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month; drops back in trip with tongue-tie added here; has a fighting chance.
